Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a powder flow measuring device for measuring variation of the flow of pneumatically conveyed powder as a variation of capacitance and measuring the flow of the powder with high precision in consideration of the temperature drift of the capacitance due to the variation of the temperature of the conveying gas. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A capacitive powder flow measuring device comprises a protective pipe for conveying powder, an electrode arrangement pipe with a measuring electrode, and a converter circuit (converter) for sending the output of the measuring electrode to a powder flow indicator. The powder flow measuring device further comprises an environment temperature sensor and a conveying gas temperature sensor (31) directly joined to a portion of the protective pipe (20). The portion is not covered with the electrode arrangement pipe (10). The powder flow measuring device still further comprises a temperature correcting circuit which corrects by calculation the output of capacitance from a capacitance converter by using the flow 0 as a reference based on the output analytical curve of the flow/capacitance and by using the difference between the outputs of the temperature sensors for sensing the environment temperature and the conveying gas temperature and thus performs temperature correction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing pyritic copper sulphide concentrate, in which, in addition to copper, there is arsenic and gold bound to the sulphide minerals, or invisible gold.  In the method concentrate is leached into a chloride-containing solution. Raw material leaching is performed in conditions where the copper, iron and arsenic of the raw material dissolve, but the gold-containing material remains undissolved. The chloride solution obtained is routed to neutralisation, where the iron and arsenic in it are precipitated. The purified copper solution is routed to liquid- liquid extraction, in the stripping stage of which copper is transferred to a sulphate solution, which is routed to copper electrowinning. Gold is recovered from the leaching residue by some known method.

Abstract: The present invention provides new techniques for non-invasive and real-time measurement of the velocity profile of slurry flow in horizontal pipes, as well as the measurement and trending of pipe wear on slurry lines. In the first case, this information can be used to determine the approach and onset of solid deposition on the bottom of the pipe. Having this information in real time can enable operation at lower velocities or higher solids concentration or both while avoiding solids deposition or plugging and their associated operational costs. In the second case, the present invention uses a permanently or semi-permanently installed ring of conformable ultrasonic transducers clamped onto the outside of the pipe. These transducers are used to measure the thickness of the pipe under their respective locations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for electromagnetic stirring of molten metals at an advanced stage of solidification, as may be used in continuous casting of steel billets and blooms, are disclosed. At least first and second stirrers are provided for generating first and second rotating magnetic fields of a differing frequency about an axis of solidifying molten metal. The stirrers are arranged about the molten metal in sufficiently close proximity to each other so that their respective magnetic fields superpose to produce a modulated magnetic field. The magnetic fields of the respective stirrers may either have common or opposing rotational directions. The modulated stirring produced by the magnetic fields results in oscillating primary and secondary flows and hence turbulence within the melt bulk in the region wherein temperature of the melt on its central axis is below the liquidus level and at least 10% of substantially solidified material is formed. Turbulent flow created by this stirring method disrupts formation of crystalline structures in the melt bulk and mixes solute enriched melt of the central region with the bulk volume which subsequently results in improvements of the solidification structure and overall internal quality of the cast products.

Abstract: A process for the transalkylation of an aromatic feedstock containing a benzene component and a polyalkylated aromatic component comprising at least one polyalkyl aromatic compound of at least nine carbon atoms. The feedstock is supplied to a reaction zone containing a metal modified zeolite transalkylation catalyst. The reaction zone is operated under conditions providing an equivalent conversion of pure toluene in the presence of the catalyst within the range of 40-55%, resulting in a transalkylated product with a reduced polyalkyl benzene content and an enhance monoalkyl benzene content relative to the transalkylation feedstock. In continued operation of the transalkylation reaction zone, at least one of the reaction conditions of temperature, pressure, and space velocity is adjusted in order to maintain a constant reaction severity to provide a desired equivalent conversion of toluene within a tolerance range of ~ 2%.  Specifically, the temperature is progressively increased while continuing the operation of the transalkylation zone to maintain a condition of constant reaction severity.
